About Contested Wills
An inheritance dispute may concern the validity of a will, the way an estate is administered or a claim for financial provision. These are different legal issues with different requirements. Disappointment about an inheritance is not itself enough to establish a claim, and relevant time limits should be checked promptly.
Key Points
- Obtain the will and relevant estate correspondence.
- Explain the concern and the evidence supporting it.
- Seek advice before distribution or a potential deadline passes.
How We Can Help
We review the available documents and identify the legal basis of the disagreement. We explain what further evidence may be needed and discuss negotiation or proceedings, taking account of costs and the effect on the estate and family relationships.
